Amid the COVID chaos, a police officer's struggle to get a street-dweller in labour admitted to a hospital for delivery helped save the woman and her baby on July 5.
Despite all efforts though, the woman had to ultimately deliver her baby on the footpath near Metro Cinema 5 as doctors from all nearby hospitals refused to attend to her and no ambulance was available. After hundreds of calls were made by the policewoman, an ambulance arrived after three hours with a PPE kit to take the mother and child to the hospital.
